:(Hi all to the forum. Yesterday when I turned on my laptop. I got the message that my start-up files were damaged or curpted. When I saw that message, I was like WHAT! I just had Windows re installed last year by a tech after I accidentally erased it. how this happen I do not know. my gf tyred to fix it for me but it did not do any good. so e we are thinking about me getting a new one. the one I have now is about 6 years old. I due for a new one so make lemonade out of lemons. we went on-line and found a couple of good deals. but for now, I have to use my gf computer.
